Prenuptial Agreement

This pre-marital agreement is made on this ____ day of ______, 200__, between
________________ and ________________ .

Whereas the parties intend to marry under the laws of the State of _______________,
and wish to set forth in advance of their marriage the rights and privileges
that each will have in the property of the other in the event of death, divorce,
or other circumstance which results in the termination of their marriage;

Whereas the parties have made to each other a full and complete disclosure
of their assets, as set forth in Exhibits 1 and 2 to this agreement;

Whereas both parties have been represented by independent counsel of their
own choosing, and whereas both parties have received a full and complete explanation
of their legal rights, the consequences of entering into this pre-marital
agreement, and the rights they would possess were it not for their voluntary
entry into this agreement; and

Whereas both parties acknowledge that they have read and understand this
agreement, have not been subjected to any form of coercion, duress, or pressure,
and believe this agreement to be fair and to represent their intentions with
regard to their assets and to any estate that shall result from their marriage;

The parties hereby agree as follows:

Each party shall separately retain all of his or her rights in his or
her separate property, as enumerated in Exhibits 1 and 2 to this agreement,
free and clear of any claim of the other party, without regard to any time
or effort invested during the course of the marriage in the maintenance,
management, or improvement of that separate property.

At all times, the parties shall enjoy the full right and authority with
regard to their separate property as each would have had if not married,
including but not limited to the right and authority to use, sell, enjoy,
manage, gift and convey the separate property. Both parties agree to execute
any documentation necessary to permit the other to exercise these rights,
provided the act of executing the documentation does not impose upon them
any legal or financial responsibility for the separate property of the other.

The parties agree that each shall be responsible for any tax obligations
associated with their separate property.

The parties agree that neither shall contest the validity or provisions
of any will, account, trust agreement, or other instrument executed by the
other which disposes of his or her separate property or which creates any
interest therein in another. To the extent that such an action would create
any right or interest in the separate property of the other, both parties
hereby waive any right in the property of the other, whether created by
statute or common law, including but not limited to any right to elect against
the will of the other, or to take an intestate share of the other's property.
The wife hereby waives any dower interest in the husband's separate property,
and the husband hereby waives any curtesy interest in the wife's separate
property.

In the event of separation or divorce, the parties shall have no right
against each other for division of property existing of this date.

Both parties acknowledge that they possess sufficient education and job
skills to adequately provide for their own support, and hereby waive any
claim to spousal support (alimony) except in the event that:

One of the parties suffers medical disability and the other remains
both employed and physically able, in which case the disabled party
may receive reasonable spousal support consistent with state law until
such time as the disability is resolved, or the other spouse retires
or becomes disabled from working, either by agreement or by judicial
determination;

The parties mutually agree that one of the parties shall reduce his
or her work hours, or shall refrain from working, in order to care for
any children born during the course of the marriage, in which case,
if the parent's employability is affected by this full or partial withdrawal
from employment, that parent may receive reasonable remedial spousal
support consistent with state law for a period of not more than two
years, either by agreement or judicial determination.

In the event of separation or divorce, marital property acquired after
marriage shall remain subject to division, either by agreement or by judicial
determination.

This agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties,
their successors, assigns, and legal representatives.

Without regard to the location of any property affected by this agreement,
this agreement shall be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the state
of ____________. In the event that any portion of this agreement shall be
held invalid or unenforceable, it is the intent of the parties that all
provisions of this agreement be regarded as separable, and that all remaining
provisions remain in full force and effect. It is further the desire of
the parties that all provisions of this agreement be considered as evidence
of their intentions by any court, arbitrator, mediator, or other authority
which seeks to divide their estate, and that their intentions be respected
whatever the legal status of this agreement or any of its terms.

This Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto contain the entire agreement
of the parties. This Agreement may only be amended by a written document
duly executed by both parties.
